I came to Eureka! today for the Steal the Glass special (today featured the Sierra Nevada Ovila Abbey Saison). Unfortunately, I wasn't very impressed. Fortunately, they still had some Waldos' Special Ale on tap.
The Lagunitas Waldos' 4/20 DIPA came out with some head. While my intention was to smell it first, I immediately tasted it instead. It tasted very hoppy and grassy, but did not taste bitter until the end of the sip and into the aftertaste.
I tried to smell it after the sip, but I didn't detect anything.
Drinking some more, I noted and re-emphasized that the beer was so hoppy. I guess that's what it means to be a double IPA (my friend Josh would probably hate it). I also noted that there was a nice amount of lacing on the glass.
Overall, I liked the 4/20 DIPA more than the Ovila Abbey Saison.
After finishing two-thirds of the beer, I gave it another whiff and could smell the hops. Furthermore, no more lacing had formed after the head had dissipated.
While both the taste and alcohol content (11% ABV) was strong, the beer smelled nice. Cheers. 7:24PM PT
